In town jungle lodge
We loved the lodge but there was no initial information about the lack of a restaurant on the property. They referred us to the lodge on the adjoining property and it was okay, but quite a ways up the hill (walking, dark at night). Although the lodge is "in town", it was quiet and easy to get to. Looking out from our porch, it did feel and look like we were in the jungle.

The property itself was beautiful and the service was awesome. The rooms themselves are quite humid so all of the bedding was damp. Also we shared a building with another room and the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing at all hours of the day. Also, if one room runs hot water, it limits the hot water in the other room (cold night time showers). The restaurant is also not on the grounds, it is at the hotel at the top of the property which for the hike, the food was ok. The grounds themselves are pretty and have their own hiking trail but overall experience this was not fully as advertised.

We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!

Amazing place
Amazing place right near the centre of Santa elena but also out the way. Bit annoying that breakfast was a 5 minute walk up hill. Saw agouti from our room. Suspension bridge is fun. Staff very friendly

Beautiful stay!
The location of the hotel is very nice. Everything is quite walkable distance from the room. The whole ambience of the hotel is amazing. Felt like living in the jungle. Absolutely brilliant and soothing. The room was quiet spacious however the bathroom was a bit small. Overall an amazing stay!

Not bad
Nice room with cabin feeling. If you have lots of luggage you will need help getting up the hill to your room. Hot water doesn’t last long in the shower. Free breakfast and close to town.

If you like to stay in a well equipped lodge this is it. The room had large windows which overlooked the greenery and vegetation outside. No ac and tv. So you could hear every sound from the surrounding trees. Very good experience and best breakfast buffet.

I thought the property was wonderful - if you like to camp and stay in a cottage. There was no AC, but the staff provided us with a fan when we asked. Quite honestly we did not need the fan as it got quite chilly at night. I would say though that this property is not accessible at all. There is a lot of steep walking and stairs. We had to carry our luggage quite far and it got heavy at one point. If you have any knee/ back pain, I would not suggest this place. Otherwise, it is perfect the able-bodied individuals. There are howler monkeys and a lot of animals in the trees- they make scary sounds but are mostly harmless!

Beautiful property in a great location. I knew the walls were thin from other reviews and it was true. Room VERY basic. 2 beds, one side table.... No chairs, no lamps. Only a ceiling light which does not offer enough light...definitely not for reading. Temp was 62 and there is no heat..and that might be off putting for some

Very nice property in the jungle. Room was spacious and very clean. Wifi worked fine. No A/C but this is not a big issue. Breakfast was delicious. Staff very helpful. The only problem for me was lack of hairdryers- there is one for the whole property and I wasn’t able to get it during my whole stay. Definitely recommend!

Enjoyable stay
This was a last minute booking after a late change of plan. However we were very happy with our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location excellent for walking to restaurants. We stayed in a superior cabin, which was spacious. The bathroom needed updating and there was a musty smell, but it is surrounded by damp jungle, so I guess that’s what you have to expect!

The Jaguarund is the perfect jungle lodge nestled in the forest next to town. There is a lot of wildlife and trails you can hike on site. Ana and Menado were very helpful and nice. The breakfast is delicious, especially the home made marmalade. It's hard to beat this place for a mix of jungle and convenience! I’ll definitely be back
